(Abrahim) - سورة ابراهيم

Alif,
Lam, Ra. [This is] a Book which We have revealed to you,
[O Muhammad], that you might bring mankind out of darknesses
into the light by permission of their Lord - to the path of
the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy -






Allah
, to whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is
on the earth. And woe to the disbelievers from a severe
punishment






The
ones who prefer the worldly life over the Hereafter and
avert [people] from the way of Allah , seeking to make it
(seem) deviant. Those are in extreme error.






And
We did not send any messenger except [speaking] in the
language of his people to state clearly for them, and Allah
sends astray [thereby] whom He wills and guides whom He wills.
And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.



And
We certainly sent Moses with Our signs, [saying], "Bring out
your people from darknesses into the light and remind them of
the days of Allah ." Indeed in that are signs for everyone
patient and grateful.






And
[recall, O Children of Israel], when Moses said to His
people, "Remember the favor of Allah upon you when He saved you
from the people of Pharaoh, who were afflicting you with the
worst torment and were slaughtering your [newborn] sons and
keeping your females alive. And in that was a great trial from
your Lord.






And
[remember] when your Lord proclaimed, 'If you are grateful, I
will surely increase you [in favor]; but if you deny, indeed,
My punishment is severe.' "






And
Moses said, "If you should disbelieve, you and whoever is on
the earth entirely - indeed, Allah is Free of need and
Praiseworthy."






Has
there not reached you the news of those before you - the
people of Noah and 'Aad and Thamud and those after them? No
one knows them but Allah . Their messengers brought them clear
proofs, but they returned their hands to their mouths and
said, "Indeed, we disbelieve in that with which you have been
sent, and indeed we are, about that to which you invite us,
in disquieting doubt."






Their
messengers said, "Can there be doubt about Allah , Creator of
the heavens and earth? He invites you that He may forgive you
of your sins, and He delays your death for a specified
term." They said, "You are not but men like us who wish to
avert us from what our fathers were worshipping. So bring us
a clear authority."






Their
messengers said to them, "We are only men like you, but
Allah confers favor upon whom He wills of His servants. It has
never been for us to bring you evidence except by permission
of Allah . And upon Allah let the believers rely.






And
why should we not rely upon Allah while He has guided us to
our [good] ways. And we will surely be patient against
whatever harm you should cause us. And upon Allah let those who
would rely [indeed] rely."






And
those who disbelieved said to their messengers, "We will
surely drive you out of our land, or you must return to our
religion." So their Lord inspired to them, "We will surely
destroy the wrongdoers.






And
We will surely cause you to dwell in the land after them.
That is for he who fears My position and fears My threat."






And they requested victory from Allah , and disappointed, [therefore], was every obstinate tyrant.






Before him is Hell, and he will be given a drink of purulent water.






He
will gulp it but will hardly [be able to] swallow it. And
death will come to him from everywhere, but he is not to die.
And before him is a massive punishment.






The
example of those who disbelieve in their Lord is [that]
their deeds are like ashes which the wind blows forcefully on a
stormy day; they are unable [to keep] from what they earned a
[single] thing. That is what is extreme error.






Have
you not seen that Allah created the heavens and the earth in
truth? If He wills, He can do away with you and produce a
new creation.






And that is not difficult for Allah .






And
they will come out [for judgement] before Allah all together,
and the weak will say to those who were arrogant, "Indeed, we
were your followers, so can you avail us anything against the
punishment of Allah ?" They will say, "If Allah had guided us,
we would have guided you. It is all the same for us whether
we show intolerance or are patient: there is for us no place
of escape."






And
Satan will say when the matter has been concluded, "Indeed,
Allah had promised you the promise of truth. And I promised
you, but I betrayed you. But I had no authority over you
except that I invited you, and you responded to me. So do
not blame me; but blame yourselves. I cannot be called to your
aid, nor can you be called to my aid. Indeed, I deny your
association of me [with Allah ] before. Indeed, for the
wrongdoers is a painful punishment."






And
those who believed and did righteous deeds will be admitted
to gardens beneath which rivers flow, abiding eternally therein
by permission of their Lord; and their greeting therein will
be, "Peace!"






Have
you not considered how Allah presents an example, [making] a
good word like a good tree, whose root is firmly fixed and
its branches [high] in the sky?






It
produces its fruit all the time, by permission of its Lord.
And Allah presents examples for the people that perhaps they
will be reminded.






And
the example of a bad word is like a bad tree, uprooted
from the surface of the earth, not having any stability.






Allah
keeps firm those who believe, with the firm word, in worldly
life and in the Hereafter. And Allah sends astray the
wrongdoers. And Allah does what He wills.






Have
you not considered those who exchanged the favor of Allah for
disbelief and settled their people [in] the home of ruin?







[It is] Hell, which they will [enter to] burn, and wretched is the settlement.






And
they have attributed to Allah equals to mislead [people] from
His way. Say, "Enjoy yourselves, for indeed, your destination is
the Fire."






[O
Muhammad], tell My servants who have believed to establish
prayer and spend from what We have provided them, secretly and
publicly, before a Day comes in which there will be no
exchange, nor any friendships.






It
is Allah who created the heavens and the earth and sent down
rain from the sky and produced thereby some fruits as
provision for you and subjected for you the ships to sail
through the sea by His command and subjected for you the
rivers.






And
He subjected for you the sun and the moon, continuous [in
orbit], and subjected for you the night and the day.







And
He gave you from all you asked of Him. And if you should
count the favor of Allah , you could not enumerate them. Indeed,
mankind is [generally] most unjust and ungrateful.






And
[mention, O Muhammad], when Abraham said, "My Lord, make this
city [Makkah] secure and keep me and my sons away from
worshipping idols.






My
Lord, indeed they have led astray many among the people. So
whoever follows me - then he is of me; and whoever disobeys
me - indeed, You are [yet] Forgiving and Merciful.






Our
Lord, I have settled some of my descendants in an
uncultivated valley near Your sacred House, our Lord, that they
may establish prayer. So make hearts among the people incline
toward them and provide for them from the fruits that they
might be grateful.






Our
Lord, indeed You know what we conceal and what we declare,
and nothing is hidden from Allah on the earth or in the heaven.






Praise
to Allah , who has granted to me in old age Ishmael and
Isaac. Indeed, my Lord is the Hearer of supplication.






My
Lord, make me an establisher of prayer, and [many] from my
descendants. Our Lord, and accept my supplication.






Our Lord, forgive me and my parents and the believers the Day the account is established."






And
never think that Allah is unaware of what the wrongdoers do.
He only delays them for a Day when eyes will stare [in
horror].







Racing ahead, their heads raised up, their glance does not come back to them, and their hearts are void.






And,
[O Muhammad], warn the people of a Day when the punishment
will come to them and those who did wrong will say, "Our
Lord, delay us for a short term; we will answer Your call and
follow the messengers." [But it will be said], "Had you not
sworn, before, that for you there would be no cessation?







And
you lived among the dwellings of those who wronged
themselves, and it had become clear to you how We dealt with
them. And We presented for you [many] examples."






And
they had planned their plan, but with Allah is [recorded]
their plan, even if their plan had been [sufficient] to do
away with the mountains.






So
never think that Allah will fail in His promise to His
messengers. Indeed, Allah is Exalted in Might and Owner of
Retribution.






[It
will be] on the Day the earth will be replaced by another
earth, and the heavens [as well], and all creatures will come
out before Allah , the One, the Prevailing.







And you will see the criminals that Day bound together in shackles,








Their garments of liquid pitch and their faces covered by the Fire.








So that Allah will recompense every soul for what it earned. Indeed, Allah is swift in account.






This
[Qur'an] is notification for the people that they may be
warned thereby and that they may know that He is but one God
and that those of understanding will be reminded.
